International Verification Committee

The International Verification Committee appears in In arms’ way: Gaza-deal sticking points as the body meant to verify Hamas disarmament. The source says its membership and procedures are still unknown.

The committee is central to the episode’s Disarmament Withdrawal Sequencing problem. Israel says withdrawal depends on complete disarmament first, while Hamas wants withdrawal before giving up leverage; without credible verification, both sides can claim the other has failed to move.
